General Motors cuts EV production at Tennessee plant - Reuters

Investing.com -- General Motors is reducing production at a key electric vehicle factory in Spring Hill, Tennessee, as part of a broader pullback in the EV sector following changes to federal support for green vehicles under President Donald Trump’s administration.

The automaker will halt production of two electric Cadillac SUVs - the midsize Lyriq and larger Vistiq - during December, according to a report from Reuters, citing a person familiar with the matter and employee communications reviewed by media.

The Cadillac Lyriq has been one of GM’s best-selling electric vehicles. Despite this relative success, the company plans to significantly reduce production of both models during the first five months of 2025 by temporarily laying off one of its two shifts of workers at the Tennessee facility.

This production cut represents the latest example of automakers scaling back electric vehicle initiatives as federal support for green cars diminishes under the current administration.
